Affordable options at barbershops and salons
Haircuts are essential services, but they don’t have to be expensive. Many barbershops and salons offer affordable haircuts.
Great Clips app for savings
Great Clips offers excellent savings through their app. Customers can sign up for coupons and utilize online check-in.
Student discounts
Students can save money by booking appointments at salons that offer student discounts. Look for national chains like Supercuts and MasterCuts and local independent salons in your area. You can subscribe to their emails or check daily deal sites like Groupon for coupons.
Consider hair schools
Consider attending a hair school if a full-service salon is beyond your budget. Licensed stylists in training can provide quality haircuts at a fraction of the price. Consult the Beauty Schools Directory to find schools near you.
Free student cuts in NYC
New York City residents have access to salons that offer free student cuts every week. Dramatics salons in NYC offer this service on Mondays at their 23rd Street location. The partnership with Paul Mitchell Academy ensures high-quality service at an unbeatably affordable price. Paul Mitchell Academy in Staten Island also offers discounted haircuts to students on Monday and Tuesday evenings.
Utilize social media
Social media is a great way to attract new clients. Create an eye-catching Facebook page and Instagram account, and post regularly using relevant hashtags. Partner with influencers in your industry to increase engagement. Offering specials and discounts can also attract new clients.
Emphasize benefits, not just prices
When promoting your salon, highlight the benefits of your products and services rather than just focusing on prices. People care more about how your products make them feel than the cutting techniques.
Yelp and other review sites
While Yelp may have brand recognition, its relevance and influence are limited. It is still worth signing up, but be mindful of browser ads and privacy blockers.
Coupons and discounts
Great Clips offers coupons and discounts both in-store and online. They have print ads, promotions on social media, website banners, and email newsletters. Their mobile app also makes it easy to sign up for money-saving notifications.
Additional savings opportunities
Salons may offer additional ways to save on haircuts, such as senior discounts for customers over 65 and free cuts for active or retired military personnel on Veterans Day. Some salons also collaborate with professional sports teams to offer sweepstakes prizes.
Find hair deals on Groupon
If you’re in New York City, Groupon is an excellent resource for finding hair deals. From Downtown Brooklyn to Queens, you can find salons offering quality services at discounted prices. s
